Appli cation filed To all 7071071), it 1114:. r'nniw'r 'b:

Be it known that i, HA-i' nr tl. B/IARKS, u cilizen of the United States residing at New York, N. 1., have invented certain new and useful improvements in Vapor-Burners, of \vhieh the following' is nelenr. full, and exnct deseri ption.

My invention relaten ton 'npor-burnerthat is, :1 burner which eonsuunes :1 vaporized lii'uid fuel and my oh eel; 18 to nnnroi'e the i 1 v i i construction of the mine, particularly with referenee to a simple and eti'eetive nppnrntus:

for quickly starting the generation of the;

vapor.

My invention will be dehned 1n the elnirnu.

The 'd nwing shows :1 side elevation, pnrtly in section, of the preferred embodimentv of my in vention.

in the embodiment of Ill}! :nvention shown with a tubeone inch in diameteroperntes sueeessl'ully. A tank I) and pipe E form one embodiment of means for feeding" at liquid fuel into said casing. A pipe i provided with :i nozzlej'n-nd 2L vulvej", and n pipeH, open at oneend and eonueeted with the burner, form a means for leadingthe vaporized Fuel to the burner A.

ll is a torch, preferably in the form of n luirner-nozzle, having :1 valve/1 and directed inlo the tube that in, S0 that the llinne from the torch will puns into the tube. A pipe ii, lending: from easing li, inn he provided to supply fuel to v-ni l toreh.

The casing ii is prel'ernhl; loi-ntr-d directly over the burner A, and the splice bul ween the casing and the inr'louwl lube IHIU' be iilied with some mnieriul whirl! will aid in vnporizing' Em l'uel. l huro louiul lhntinelnl wires The proportioimoi the part may i found that n casing one and one-half inches in diameter 5 lfiareli 12,1903.

2. In combination, a vapor-burner head having a broad upper face arranged substantially horizontally and provided with a plurality of perforations in said face, a tube arranged substantially horizontally above and close to said burner-head, a vaporizing-casing uponand surrounding said tube, means to feed a liquid fuel into said casing, a torch directed into said tube, means to supply fuel from said casing to said torch, and means to lead vaporized fuel from said casing to said burner.

3. In combination, a vapor-burner head hav ingabroad upper face arranged substantially horizontally and provided with a plurality of perforations insaid face, a tube lying substantially horizontally close to and above said burner, a vaporiZing;cas'ing upon and surrounding said tube,'n1eans to feed a liquid fuel into said casing, a torch directed into said tube, means to supply fuel to said torch, and means to lead vaporized fuel from said casing to said burner.

4:. In combination, a vapor-burner head having abroad upper face arranged substantially horizontally and provided with a plurality of perforations in said face, a tube open at both ends and lying substantially horizontally close to and above said burner, a vaporizing-casing upon and surrounding said tube, means to feed a liquid fuel into said casing and in part located in front of one end of said tube, a torch directed into the.other end of said tube, a pipe extending from said casing to said torch to supply fuel thereto, and a pipe leading from said casing to said burner to supply vaporized fuel thereto, said pipe having an opening therein to admit air thereto.

5. In combination, a vapor-burner, a tube open at both ends and located above said burner, an elongated vaporizing-casing upon and surrounding said tube, metallic wires locatedhin said casing between the interior of said casing and the exterior of said tube and adapted to assist in vaporizing the fuel, a fueltank and means to lead a liquid fuel from said tank into said casing, said pipe passing in front of one of the open ends of said tube, a torch-nozzle directed into the other end of said tube and adapted to cause a flame to pass into said tube, a pipe connected a 1th said casing and leading to said torch to supply fuel thereto, and a pipe leading from said, casing to said burner and having an opening therein to admit air thereto.

6. A vaporizer for liquid hydrocarbons comprising a central tube, a tube about said central tube of sufficient size to form an annular passage, said tubes at their ends being W0) ked into contact with each other to form a closed annular chamber, one of said tubes having peripheral corrugations forming a yielding section to accommodate unequal expansions of the two tubes.

7. A vaporizer for liquid hydrocarbons comprising a central tube, a tube about said central tube of sufficient size to form an annular passage said tubes at their ends being joined to form an annular passage, one of said tubes having peripheral corrugations compensating for unequal expansion of the two tubes.

8. In combination, a vapor-burner, a vaporizer consisting of an annular tubular casing extending across the face of the burner and having a central through-passage, means for supplying a liquid hydrocarbon to the ammlar space in said 'aporizer, means for conveying the gas generated by said vaporizer to the burner, and a pilot burner or torch discharging into the central opening in said vaporizer.

9. The combination of a main burner, a vaporizer above and substantially parallel to said burner, said vaporizer being composed of inner and outer tubes spaced apart to form a va )orizing-channel, means to conduct vaporized fuel from said vaporizer to said burner, a torch directed into said inner tube, and means to supply fuel to said torch.
